[RC] Helmets..... one more - Kristene Smuts

I almost forgot my own little helmetless experience (see what it does to
you?).  I was about 9 and fooling around on my mare before going to do
my chores.  It was Christmas eve and I was galloping around the paddock,
no saddle, bridle or helmet when I thought the mare was going to do
another lap around but she then decided she'd had enough.  I came off
and slammed my head into the corner paddock pole - a sturdy 20cm piece
of wood.

I woke up about 10 days later, with a nurse sitting next to me, asking
me what my name was, what chewing gum I liked ..... ticking off my
answers on a sheet of paper.

I have no recollection of that week.  Might I have been a rocket
scientist if not for that accident?  Don't know, but I'm very grateful
that I can do what I do without any assistance or seeing resentment in
the faces of my caretakers every time they have to change my soiled
clothing!

I have a GOOD LIFE!!
Kristene
